Deer require more carbohydrates in winter and will go through feed quickly. Place the food in areas that are surrounded by woods or brush to provide them with a place to retreat.

Homemade food can also be made with loaves of bread mixed with peanut butter, molasses and honey. Crush the bread with a food processor until it is fine and crumbly.
